Mr. Kitty"A.I"

Label: Negative Gain (2017)

Texas-based musician Mr.Kitty confronts the listener with a synth-driven emotional journey through a mental breakdown. Using a minimal set of sounds, Mr.Kitty creates lush atmospheres with crystalline synths, hard-hitting beats, and infectious vocal hooks. A cold sense of urgency lies within the span of 15 meticulously constructed pieces, but also a voice of sincerity in the lyrics. Two tracks feature vocal collaborations including New York-Based Dreampop act, PASTEL GHOST and the vocaloid superstar, Megurine Luka (巡音ルカ). Throughout the album, Mr.Kitty transforms into different personas leaving us wondering; "Is he programmed to please or to malfunction at will"?
